Beyond Boundaries 💝

Craving for Proximity.

The next day when Dev's eyes opened, he was shocked to see Vidhi wrapped in his arms.
He kept looking at Vidhi for a few moments in surprise.
"Ek subha jab meri aankh khule, toh tum mujhse yun lipti raho" he had only thought this in his dreams.

Dev had never imagined that this dream would ever come true. He could not believe his eyes.

Dev: (pov) ye...ye Vidhi sote waqt kitni cute lagti hai!

A smile appeared on Dev's lips. But...it didn't take long for this smile to disappear. Because gradually Dev started remembering all the things of last night and every moment spent with Vidhi.

How he drew Vidhi close to him under the influence of alcohol, how he, under the influence of intoxication, expressed all his feelings to Vidhi. How he kissed Vidhi's forehead last night and how Dev, in his drunken state, brought out his hidden feelings before her.
Remembering all this, Dev started cursing himself internally and closed his eyes.

Dev: (pov) Ye maine kya kar diya? Vidhi ke samne apne Dil ke saare jazbaat rakh diye? Rakhe toh Rakhe lekin...iss tarah nashe mein?! Nahi...Nahi ye...ye sahi nahi hua.

Dev was engrossed in his thoughts when he felt Vidhi's movement.
When she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes collided with Dev's eyes.
Both of them kept looking into each other's eyes for a few moments. Now Vidhi started remembering the moments of last night and a smile appeared on her lips. Dev knew the reason for this sudden smile.

Dev averted his gaze from Vidhi. Vidhi also became aware of her position. But both her hands were pressed against Dev's lower back so she could not move even if she wanted to.

Then suddenly! Dev held Vidhi tightly. Vidhi was surprised. She started looking at Dev with her big eyes. Dev also looked towards Vidhi, their eyes met again and the speed of their heartbeats increased again.
Dev turned Vidhi to the other side, now Vidhi's hands were no longer under Dev, now both of them could separate. Both of their eyes were still in each other's eyes.

Neither of them wanted to separate. But then suddenly Vidhi's phone started ringing and despite not wanting to, Vidhi had to separate from Dev. Vidhi picked up the phone and started talking to her father. Dev's eyes were still on Vidhi, the moments spent with her were coming before his eyes again and again, especially that forehead kiss.
Dev and Vidhi were closest at that moment. That moment kept coming before Dev's eyes.
Dev closed his eyes to stop those memories but now those memories started coming before his eyes at a faster pace. Now Dev started getting frustrated.
But then he heard Vidhi's voice...

Vidhi: ap tension mat lijiye Dev sir

Dev opened his eyes.

Vidhi: ap ne kuch galat nahi kiya.
Balki mai toh ye janke bohot khush hu ki...

She smiled wider.

Vidhi: ki ap bhi mujhse pyaar kar te hai. Mai ye jan kar bohot khush hu ki...ki agar humare beech ye Umar ki Seema na hoti toh hum ek ho sakte the. Mere liye toh itna he kaafi hai sir aur raha sawal kal raat ka toh...nashe mein ap the sir, mai nahi aur maine hosh mein reh ke bhi apse shikayat nahi ki iska matlab hai ki mujhe koi problem nahi hai.

Dev: magar mujhe hai...aise kaise mai nashe mein tumhare saath vo...

Both remembered the closeness of last night, That of Dev kissing Vidhi's forehead and then Vidhi clinging to Dev's arms.

Dev: v...vo...vo...sahi nahi tha.

Vidhi: Sir...jane dijiye raat gaiee baat gaiee!

Dev: haa...haa jane dete hai raat gaiee baat gaiee!

Vidhi: mai...fresh hoke ati hu sir

Dev agreed and Vidhi left. But the memories of last night were not getting erased from both of their minds even for a moment.
